Track to SE - gate not locked but track soon stony and rough with very bad ford at NC 636985 (large boulders). No atv found. Shortest route via NC 635993 and derelict Garvary - spongy tussockscarole engel02/09/2023
Parked at the end of the track just N of Sleastary. First part of the track very industrial - working on pylons there. On past Garvary, then off on an ATV track at NH6336 9996 for a short distance, then on grass and heather to the summit. On to Cnoc Cracail.LizH14/06/2021
started from track near Sleastary ( room for one vehicle maybe at track mouth). There must be another ! wind farm being constructed, as the access road has been upgraded. Walked to L Crucial M & B- you will note that track is v damp (boots got filled). Westwards onto minor Cnoc Crucial, southwards to M Enchainn 343 and again to M Eachainn 334. Big views .VerySlowPlodder03/05/2021
